AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! Lura looks like BAT-BARF!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Lura just sounds better.)

Aww.... I think she looks gorgeous apart from the dress. It looks like Fairy Tale Princesses had a sewing party and that's what they made! Dakota looks much older and more Lyra here then the movie pics.

I love that dress!!! It looks like an elfen Princess's. She looks Beautiful here.

But why....she's LYRA, not an Eastern princess ...thingy-mah-doodah...
thing...
...Okay, I'll just stop talking.

She's not Lyra at the moment!

the dress is horrific really not lyra

uugh what a disgusting dress.... She looks really pretty though :)

it is a discusting dress!!!!!!!!!
it makes her look too frumpy!!!!!!!!

Well, she's not being Lyra there. Thank Yambe Acca that isn't going to be a costume. It looks like a pink unicorn pooped it out. I don't know about Dakota herself. She pretty much looks the part, I guess, and if she turns out to be a good actress, she'll be wonderful.

she looks pretty, but her dress is gastley.

Aw she is soo Lyra!!! Not the dress it makes her look like a medieval princess person. But I agree, i think she looks more like Lyra than in the promo stills.

i love the dress!!!! she looks really pretty, and in a ways quite nervous??(shes twidling he fingers). anyway, i guess she looks a bit like a elf-princess, but i think that suits her!lol

what an ugly dress o.O

and i suppose you are all fashion icons right ? this is a 12 year old girl you are slating. and a very sweet one at that. go easy on her.
also, one or two of you seem to be confusing fiction with reality. Dakota PLAYS Lyra, she is not Lyra. she went to the party in Cannes as herself. what she is wearing has nothing to do with the film or character. take a break.

THANK YOU!!! (for saying that easytiger) it was really bugging me that people keep talking like she IS Lyra, not Dakota Blue Richards. I, for one, think she looks nice in this picture.

omg! no offense but that looks like an ugly dress!
